Your baby’s brain
It’s normal for babies to wake often during the night
Babies have different sleep patterns to adults
Going to your baby when they wake teaches them their needs matter and builds a sense of trust
Every baby is different. Some babies take longer to sleep through the night than others. Babies can’t fall asleep on their own like grown-ups do. They need you to help them learn. Being a parent can be tiring, but your calm voice, gentle touch, and regular routines will help your baby relax and sleep better over time.
